[Qt-creator] Link errors when building on linux

[Frank Miller]

Thanks for the quick response. I should have known better...

I'm on CentOS 7.x (I'm not sure exactly. I don't maintain it):
    $ uname -a
    Linux scone 3.10.0-514.16.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Apr 12 15:04:24 UTC
2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I'm using gcc-7.2.0 which I built myself.
    $ g++ --version
    g++ (GCC) 7.2.0

I'm using qtbase, qtdeclarative, qtquickcontrols, qtscript, and qttools.
All from the head revision of their 5.9 git branches and built with
compiler above.
    $ qmake --version
    QMake version 3.1
    Using Qt version 5.9.3 in /opt/segdeps/gcc/lib

I haven't done a git clean but I always do out-of-source builds and the
git clones are recent.

Would any other information be useful?

What version of Qt do you build against?

Frank
